If she wants Cameron, why shouldn't she have him?" At this Emily Tweksbury flung her head back and regarded Raymond with flaming eyes. "You well! just what are you? Can't you see? Could you possibly believe any girl would take Cameron if she had you to choose?" At this Raymond laughed. He laughed with abandon, going the gamut of emotions like a scale.
Miss Gordon had not been entirely unobservant of all that had been going on. She had had her qualms, but business must be business, and so long as Joan did not interfere with that she had not felt called upon to remonstrate with her on her growing friendliness with the protégé of Mrs. Tweksbury. But now things were changed and by Joan's own bad behaviour.
Comical little beggar!" "But, Ken," Emily Tweksbury followed her companion from the room, "you are like that you really are! You just take life by the throat and you are sure of yourself in a way that frightens me." "Oh, come, Aunt Emily, that girl has caught you by her nonsense. See here, let us do a bit of sleuthing!
"Suppose you judge for yourself, Mrs. Tweksbury." Elspeth was charmingly easy in her manner. "Who is she?" bluntly asked the old lady. "Ah!" And here Elspeth recoiled. "My palmist and my best recipes are sacred to me, Mrs. Tweksbury. But may I call my little seer to you?" Mrs. Tweksbury consented, and when Joan looked at the pink, soft palm a spirit of mischief possessed her.
Unless the girl is an outlaw, she'll confine her antics to the safe outer edge." In this mood Raymond strode into the Brier Bush with Mrs. Tweksbury at his heels. They took a table near the fireplace and, rather arrogantly, Raymond looked about. "No one was going to take him in!" was what his stern young eyes and dominant chin proclaimed.
Doris has tried to make me understand, but how girls as rich as those girls are going to be can want to go out and support themselves I do not understand it's thieving. Nothing less. Taking bread from women who haven't money." Mrs. Tweksbury sniffed scornfully and Raymond laughed. He wasn't interested. Mrs. Tweksbury saw she was losing ground and made a third attempt.
Tweksbury was confirmed in her idea that the girl before her was a society girl her general knowledge could be explained by that, but suddenly Joan became more daring she vividly recalled much that she had heard Doris say in defence of the old woman whom Nancy and she feared and often ridiculed. It took but a twist to change a private incident into a blurred but amazing suggestion. Mrs.
Tweksbury almost tearfully asserted, but about that he never spoke and always frowned down any reference to it. He expected the usual thing at the Brier Bush, and was just enough to show some appreciation when he did not find it. The rooms were unique and charming. Elspeth Gordon was impressive as she walked about among her guests.
I bet the sibyl often is at dinners where we go and I'm not so sure but what I would know those hands of hers anywhere they were not ordinary hands. Two can play at her little game." This seemed to offer some inducement to Mrs. Tweksbury and she brightened. "Her walk, too, Ken. Did you notice that?" "Yes I did, by Jove!
Upon my word, I'm deadly sorry, but I'm made slow and cautious and mechanical I'm afraid of making mistakes and if I have lost because of my weakness, why, you and I must cling the closer." "Oh! Ken. When you talk like that I feel that I must go and have it out with Nancy!" "Aunt Emily, hands off!" Raymond was suddenly stern, and Mrs. Tweksbury bowed before the tone.
